He must of stuck out like a sore thumb
Well, actually, this Viagra dealer knows his market. He's just blocks from the heart of the Gold Coast - also known as the Viagra Triangle.

Here's a story
Not quite Emergency 911 quality...maybe Reno 911.
A 21 year old girl was the victim of an overly frozen popsicle treat at a major public university in Austin, Texas. The popsicle was so cold that it stuck to the roof of the victim's mouth. As a result of breaking free from the popsicle, the victim ripped the skin from the roof of her mouth causing major trauma. Estimated blood loss 3cc.
The victim is now fine and has faced the vicious popsicle. The popsicle was sentenced to death by melting...in the victim's mouth. The victim is at peace with the incident.

Working last night
Just woke up an hour ago after working a crazy, busy overnight shift. Although I am new and may not do things as smoothly as other nurses, I don't think lack of experience did me in last night. My 4 patients had a lot going on that had to be done every hour on the hour.
At one point, I really believed the only thing that could help me feel better was if I just let my bladder loose and pee on me. Fetal position or sitting in a ball rocking back and forth would have been so counter productive. At least, I can wet myself standing up and still take care of my patients. Alas, I didn't but was tempted.
I think we should have the hospital olympics...Give prizes to the fastest in:
1) Putting on PPE (protective personal equipment) for patients on any sort of contact isolation
2) Drawing blood from a PICC line
3) An obstacle course in hauling a big-ass computer, in a room packed with furniture, IV poles, and a snoring mom, in a dimly lit room.
4) Scanning barcode on patient nametags, scanning medication, and finding someone to co-sign something on computer that has a battery about to die.

It's Lisa and she looks like Blossom
Sadly, as I flipped through the TV buffet, I found the E! True Hollywood story on the NBC show, Blossom. Looks like Mayim Bialik puts on a little poundage, but her honker stays the same youthful size. Apparently, she's getting her PhD focusing on obsessive-compulsive tendency of those with the genetic disorder Prader Willy. Beats doing meth.
The New Blond
Slate.com does it again...yet another slide-show essay that keeps me coming back to this website everyday. http://www.slate.com/id/2136418/nav/tap1/
About the New Blonde...having big fat lips.

Cindy Brady Moment
Like Cindy Brady, I had to chose between my Mom and Dad. My Mom called just as I called my Dad at work. Who do you pick without having an Alice-figure at your disposal?Eany-Meany-Mommy-Daddy

I went with my Mom and then called my Dad back.
Scratch N Dent Sale
When I walk past the neighborhood electronic story, I have to stop and wonder how it stays in business. Come on...does a Goldstar Microwave really cost $100? Now they're throwing a sale, more specifically, a "Scratch N Dent" Sale. If only the roads were a little softer. Sigh, the flatscreens and Ipods that fell off the truck wouldn't have these scratch and dent features.

Save the Clock Tower...
The third night (in a row) of going to our favorite neighborhood cheese shop led us to find a cheese with a very awesome taste and story. Pastoral Artisan Cheese and Wine (http://www.pastoralartisan.com/) featured a cheese called Stravecchio that is made by a bunch of former Kraft employees who worked at a cheese factory. Basically, these guys pooled their money togetether to buy the plant in order to make their own cheese. Carpe Diem.
This is from the Antigo Cheese Company
This is from the Antigo Cheese Company
In 1993, the owners--one of the biggest names in food manufacturing today--announced they would close the plant and move to more modern facilities. In a bold attempt to protect their employment base and a 70-year history in cheesemaking, the employees, milk patrons and investment community of Antigo pooled resources and bought the plant.

Intelligentsia
To the strange woman swatting flies with her New York Times, I don't think you're crazy. I saw some by the cream, soy, pure sugar, and Splenda station.
However, to the guy studying the theory of probability, your body rocking forwards and backwards makes me think, "hmm, autistic tendencies."
And what the hell is up with the man with the prayer/anal beads hanging on his arm?

Chocolate Meat
Would you ever try a dish that had pig's blood as the main ingredient?
Tonight, Tollwaywarrior tried this Filipino dish called Dinuguan at my relative's birthday party out in the burbs. Heads turned and mouths puckered and pointed at the white man who carried a bowl of Dinuguan. My aunt asked me if he knew what was in the dish known also as "chocolate meat." He was well aware. And he said it tastes GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
I called my mom just top off the tall glass of Filipino-ness just a while ago. She could not believe Tollwaywarrior ate it either...and the woman squealed when I told her he took a bowl home too. Whenever there was a gap in conversation and at the end of the phone call, she again said she couldn't believe what Tollwaywarrior ate.

listen up chicks
VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- Experts who conducted tests on 40 songbirds found dead in Vienna say they didn't die of bird flu as initially feared, but slammed into windows after becoming intoxicated from eating fermented berries.
The birds -- whose remains were carefully examined to ensure they were not victims of avian influenza -- had livers so diseased ''they looked like they were chronic alcoholics,'' Sonja Wehsely, a spokeswoman for Vienna's veterinary authority, told Austrian television Thursday.
All died of broken necks after slamming into windowpanes, apparently after gorging themselves on berries that had begun to rot, turning the juice inside to alcohol, Wehsely said. She said the juice probably continued to ferment as the birds digested the berries, causing them to become disoriented and fly into the panes.

Phew!
I'm done stealing material for my blog from ABCnews.com. Who can resist stores about a third-star actor's meth problem, weed idiots, and stuff about vultures!
Anyway, I had a fun time at work last night. People working nights are really funny...and laid back and uptight at the same time. I'm so glad to be off now. I even stopped and got a corporate bagel (Einsteins) in celebration.
Sadly, I still have that DAMN Hilary Duff song in my head.

Ecosystem
Fewer vultures has meant more food for India's large population of stray dogs, allowing them to thrive, which "could lead to rise in incidence of rabies," junior environment minister Namo Narain Meena said, calling for a complete ban on the veterinary use of the drug.
Meth Mouth
I never expected Stephanie Tanner to have meth mouth...maybe Kimmy Gibler...but not Stephanie. And we know about the Olsen twins. I wonder if Bob Sagat told the "Aristocrats!" joke at the intervention.
But two years ago, she found herself dangerously addicted to one of the most debilitating drugs, methamphetamine. She said she was unemployed and bored and began simply by experimenting. Soon, she was using meth everyday. The tabloid press reported a three-day bender as well as an intervention staged by her "Full House" castmates — including the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, John Stamos and Bob Saget.
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go (there's a heart).
There's a heart
A hand to hold onto.
Jan Brady, you are still my hero.
